Samsung's latest folding phone, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is almost here. After an extended review, here's the verdict on whether you should buy it.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the company’s most accomplished foldable device yet, thanks to significant improvements in its build quality and upgrades to the internals and the display.

This can be considered two phones in one, ‘folded’ it’s a little narrow compared to most recent offering, ‘unfolded’ you need large hands or a flat surface to lay it on. Having told you about the Samsung Flip last year here is its big brother the Samsung Fold.

Samsung has always been open to experimental form factors. The first Note series is a good example of the Korean giant hitting on something that wasn’t immediately met with positive reviews. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is an evolution of that mindset.

There was a time when we thought foldable devices were a technology that may take decades to get to. Heck, some people thought we’d never see such devices at all. At the same time, we have had some curved glass devices; folding that glass seemed undoable.
